What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

You are too kind sire!

I really need to fix those weird stale pics

 

The best first line to a build is

"I got a flat tire. So I caged it"

 

I think it does come with the manifold but your right I don't see the air line.. Add that to the list.

thank you sir.

 

Air line comes with the locker itself too.

 

Nice.. Will I need gasket material I guess too?

 

Oh ya. Forgot about that one for a sec. Ya he wins, hands down.

 

"This is my 96 4x4 2.7l tacoma, named Sluggo. It got the name because it is slow as fuck, like a slug."

I don' know lol. This one's pretty good.

I did, however, miss that one somewhere in my reading lol

 

for what sealing up the diffs? Ya. it doesent come with that, but the locker kit and pump kit literally come with everything you need. I highly reccomend the full pump kit because it has the full harness and switch made for you. So glad I didnt have to make that one myself

 

Just use FIPG from Toyota. A tube is like 8 bucks. Better then a gasket anyways.

 

After having the truck stock for 3 years I finally got around to getting the Old Man Emu lift kit from toytec and a set of 265/75/16 bfg mud terrains.

 

How's the ride difference, in your opinion?

 

Thanks guys.

Last question. Will probably go to 35's in 2 years or so but am currently sticking with 33's, should i go 4.88 or 5.29? i have a 2.7 auto.

 

5.29s for sure. Especially with that drive train setup.

You'll be super super over geared for 33s probably. But be nice on the 35s

 

I'd go 5.29, but it will be too much for now.

 

Hmm i guess I'm wondering how it would be on the freeway.. would it be hard to go 70?

should have gone w/ 35's from the get go… oh well.

 

35's on a 4 cyl, Sounds like a hell of a drive.

I had 33's on my old jeep.. oooof even geared 5th was useless

 

No more flashing.

 

hopefully by the time it's on 35's I'll have a new DD lol..

 

70 on 35s with 5.29s? Easy. I do 75+ easy and I weigh a hell of a lot more then you do.

 

but you have a V6, I am pretty sure that matters.
